BUTTER-CUTTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 477,019, dated June 14,1892.

Application filed December 28,1891. Serial No. 416,284. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, CONRAD NEUSTADT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain newand useful Improvements in Butter-Cutters, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in butter-cutters.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple and improved devicefor cutting but ter, which will hereinafter be fully described andclaimed, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure 1 is a sectional view of the steel bow on the line :1: as of Fig.2 and one of thehalves of the two parts forming the handle. Fig. 2 is anend view of the handle without the steel wire bow. Fig. 3 is an end viewof handle and steel how.

The letter A indicates a handle, preferably of wood, which is composedof two pieces, having a groove of curved form, one-half in each piece.The pieces are then put together and fastened, preferably with glue. Thecurved form of the grooves, which receive the steel bow B, prevents theturning of the bow on its axis. This bow may be formed of a steel rod orother suitable material, bent to the desired curvature, or it may be cutfrom a coil of steel wire of the proper thickness to suit the object inview. The extremities of this bow are provided with notches O O and alsowith perforations D D. A steel wire E of the exact size to fit theperforations is inserted in one of them-say Dand has its expletes thefastening of the wireE to the frame,

consisting of handle A and steel bow B.

The dotted lines in Fig. 1 indicate the position of the steel bow Bbefore the ends of the wire E are secured to the ends thereof.

I am aware that slots and notches in rods and frames have been used withwires and saws. I do not claim these, broadly; but

lVhat I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a butter-cutter, a handle divided longitudinally in two halvesattached to each other, each half having a crescent-shaped grooveadapted to receive a steel-wire bow having each of its extremitiesprovided with a notch and a perforation above said notch, in combinationwith a wire cutter having its extremities inserted in said perforationsand notches and bentin the manner herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CONRAD NEUSTADT.
